If you plan to do some camping this year—hard to picture on these freezing mornings, I know, but it will be spring eventually—you might be interested in this promotion at Amazon: They’re offering $20 off your $100 purchase of qualifying Coleman gear, with over 200 different products available as part of the promotion.

Personally, my kind of camping involves sleeping inside a hard-sided box on a real bed (yeah, I’m aware that’s not really camping…), but if you’re a tent camper, check out this Coleman Montana 8 tent; it’ll come to just $90 delivered after the discount. It’s so fancy, the door swings rather than zips. Hee.

Anyway, there’s lots of options, and then you can go out into the wild and be eaten by mosquitoes. Fun!

DH and I have one of the bed-height air mattresses with a rechargeable pump. I think that is the single reason we have been able to continue tent camping as we have gotten older. Most of our other camping friends (who are up to ten years younger than we are) switched to cabins with beds, then gave up camping altogether. It makes a world of difference to have a bed that is standard height when going through your 50s and 60s.
